As I write this post from my comfy chair, I'm looking about my great room and my eyes drift to all the handmade items in the room. The quilts, pillow, wool table toppers and stitched pictures....it just makes me smile.

Today I thought I would re-share some of these simple projects so you too could make someone smile this year.
And when you deliver them, be safe and don't forget to "Ding and Dash"! (Thanks to Michelle Peters of Watergirl Quilt Company for this catchy delivery method!)
